Chapter 113: Fried Chicken Feet with Cucumber
The places selling food in the forest park are those man-made cabins.
Two rows of cabins are located to the west and below the big trees on the left and right sides, blending in harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
At a glance, there are twenty cabins.
There are people selling water, fruit, noodles and rice.
Each cabin sells something different.
Although the mountains in this forest park are not particularly high, it still takes three or four hours to reach the top.
Some people who don't like climbing mountains will just take the cable car up the mountain.
Then walk down the mountain.
You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Only those who like mountain climbing as a sport will like mountain climbing.
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi were in the second situation. They treated mountain climbing as a sport.
By the way, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Mo Qingyan and others had passed by these cabins once before.
Although there were some people gathered in those cabins, it was not a large number.
However, it is no exaggeration to say that the cabin here is packed with people.
I saw a small wooden house in the middle of the front, surrounded by a large group of people, and no one could get in or out.
There were even several security personnel in the scenic area maintaining order.
There was even a loud speaker shouting at tourists to line up in order.
After seeing the huge crowd, Mo Qingyan said to Gao Moqi, "I was wondering just now, so many people took the cable car up the mountain, why didn't we see many people when we climbed up. It turns out that they all came here. The power of this state-class chef is really amazing!"
Gao Moqi only replied, "Food is the first necessity of the people."
"Right, right, right. Food is the most important thing for Ming people." Mo Qingyan glanced at the queue in front of her and said with some melancholy, "This queue is too long. I guess by the time we get there, there won't be any left for us."
Mo Qingyan originally thought that she could taste the cooking skills of a state-banquet-level chef in the middle of the day!
It seems that they thought too much.
"Forget it, let's find a cabin with not so many people, eat something and make do with it."
"Over there?" Gao Moqi pointed to a small wooden house selling food not far away.
"Okay, that one then."
Mo Qingyan was just about to ask Gao Moqi to go over.
As a result, a young man in his thirties wearing a gray shirt who was guarding the door paused when he glanced at them.
Then he walked towards them quickly.
The young man looked up and down at Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi, then his eyes fell on the two cameramen following behind them and asked, "Are you internet celebrities?"
Mo Qingyan opened her mouth and was about to answer.
As a result, a fashionable lady in a red dress who was queuing up nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, this guy is an Internet celebrity. And he's a big Internet celebrity. He has millions of fans!"
Mo Qingyan looked at the aunt who spoke in confusion, only to find that the aunt looked familiar.
It seemed that he was one of the people who helped him scold those people who were taking advantage of their age when they were at the gate.
At that time, the aunt scolded those people very harshly.
Come to think of it, he has also suffered greatly from it!
Or at that time Mo Qingyan said that his live broadcast room had millions of viewers, so maybe the aunt misunderstood and thought he was some internet celebrity anchor.
Mo Qingyan was about to explain.
As a result, the auntie was heard saying to the young man, "Don't you have a rule? If an internet celebrity has reached 100% of fans, they can skip the queue and go in first to buy? These two guys have millions of fans. They have met your requirements, right?"
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi both looked at the aunt in surprise.
When the aunt saw them, she quickly pushed Mo Qingyan and said, "You two young people, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and show him your account number! After he has seen it, you don't have to queue up and can go in directly."
"Oh, okay."
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that this aunt would be so kind-hearted.
He took out his mobile phone, opened his live broadcast account, and showed it to the young man.
The avatar of Mo Qingyan’s live broadcast account is a default surrender.
The name of the account is "Eat and wait for death."
That’s right, just eat and wait to die.
This account of Mo Qingyan was opened by the program team.
The original name used was Mo Qingyan's real name.
But which young person today would use his or her real name on a public live broadcast account?
Except for those real-name and serious celebrity artists.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan changed her name.
It changed to "eat and wait for death".
Mo Qingyan felt that these four words vividly summarized his current life.
The young man saw this live broadcast account and was a little puzzled: "Live a simple life and wait for death? I seem to have seen this name somewhere before."
However, looking at the number of fans on Mo Qingyan’s live broadcast account, which is close to nine million.
I was stunned for a moment.
Nine million fans?
You know, in the past, this number of fans could be bought and faked.
But now, the control is very strict.
Falsifying the number of fans is illegal.
That would be tantamount to fraud.
If you reach a certain number, you will go to jail.
Therefore, no celebrity, artist, anchor or internet celebrity dares to cheat.
Therefore, the fans nowadays are all real fans.
The number of fans of many second- and third-tier celebrities is only a few hundred or tens of millions.
And the number of Mo Qingyan's fans now is actually comparable to that of second-tier stars.
Internet celebrities or celebrity artists with more than one million fans can skip the queue to enter. It was stipulated by the state banquet-level chef.
The purpose, of course, is to get these people to help him promote himself for free.
After all, this is the era of traffic.
Even a state-banquet-level chef still needs to eat.
As for state banquet-level chefs, there are other levels besides classification.
This popularity is also very important.
It’s like being a level three state banquet chef.
For someone who is not famous, his appearance fee might be only a few hundred thousand or a few hundred thousand.
But if it is famous.
The appearance fee must be at least 500,000.
Some are as high as millions.
There are indeed a lot of internet celebrities nowadays, but because there are too many of them, there are naturally very few who have more than one million fans.
From this morning till now, they have only seen one internet celebrity with over a million fans.
And Mo Qingyan is the second one.
The most important thing is that the number of fans of the first internet celebrity is just a little over one million.
Mo Qingyan has nearly ten million fans.
There is no comparison between the two.
The young man's attitude towards Mo Qingyan suddenly changed.
"I don't know what your name is, what kind of anchor you are?"
"My last name is Mo, and I'm probably, probably, a food live streamer."
Mo Qingyan originally wanted to say that she was a spendthrift anchor.
But after thinking about it, I still chose the identity of food anchor.
"Mr. Mo, hello, food anchor. Food anchor is absolutely perfect. I see you seem to be live streaming, right? Then come in with me. The dishes made by our chef Ma are not something that everyone can taste."
Having said that, the young man stopped looking at Gao Moqi's account fans and directly led the group of people through the employee passage.
Mo Qingyan turned around and thanked the aunt in the red skirt.
The aunt smiled and waved at him.
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that there was such a privilege.
He looked at the enthusiastic aunt in the red skirt still queuing there, while they could go directly through the special channel.
This is a differentiated attitude.
Mo Qingyan immediately disliked the new state banquet-level chef.
As Mo Qingyan walked, she approached Gao Moqi and asked him, "Judge Gao, do you know any state banquet chefs with the last name Ma?"
A state banquet chef.
The number of people is fixed every year.
And you need to participate in the competition every year.
Therefore, the changes in some state banquet-level chefs are actually very big.
It is very likely that this group of people will be replaced by another group tomorrow.
Gao Moqi thought for a moment and said, "I know of two. I wonder if it will be one of them."
Mo Qingyan turned the backpack on her back to the front, then unzipped it, took out a pair of sunglasses from it, and handed them to Gao Moqi, "Put this on first. It would be bad if someone you know recognizes you."
Gao Moqi took the sunglasses and asked Mo Qingyan, "What about you?"
Mo Qingyan pulled the brim of her hat and said, "I'm not a gourmet expert. Although I look handsome, there should be very few people who can recognize me with a hat on, right?"
Gao Moqi looked at Mo Qingyan's delicate face and did not agree with what he said.
Because just based on Mo Qingyan's face, it is really easy to recognize her.
But whatever Mo Qingyan says is fine. Gao Moqi never refutes what Mo Qingyan says.
So Gao Moqi put on sunglasses and followed Mo Qingyan obediently.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all delighted after hearing what Mo Qingyan said.
"Haha, does Brother Mo have any misunderstanding about his own recognition?"
"Yeah, anyone who has watched Brother Mo's live broadcast enough times will be able to recognize him."
"He only asked the senior judges to wear sunglasses, but he himself didn't wear any. Could it be because he only brought one pair of sunglasses?"
"You above have revealed the truth. I know this pair of sunglasses. When Brother Mo went to buy Huayi watches, the manager gave them to him as a gift. But he only gave him one pair. I heard they were custom-made. So, Brother Mo may have really only worn this pair of sunglasses when he went out this time."
"I didn't expect that this state-class chef is so realistic. Internet celebrities with over a million fans can open a privileged channel. They don't have to queue. Those who don't have a million fans have to queue there."
“It’s a bit too much.”
…
Although Mo Qingyan was a privileged person, she still felt uncomfortable inside.
If it wasn’t for that enthusiastic aunt’s recommendation, if it wasn’t for that young man’s enthusiasm in pulling them over.
Mo Qingyan actually won’t come.
Soon, they made their way through the crowd and arrived in front of the cabin.
Inside the cabin, a man in his thirties wearing a black chef uniform and several middle-aged men wearing white chef uniforms were busy at the stove.
There were several tables inside the cabin.
There are two large wooden barrels on each table.
A large wooden barrel was filled with white rice.
A large wooden barrel is filled with hot dishes.
The dish is also very simple, just a simple stir-fried chicken feet with cucumber.
That’s right, it’s fried chicken feet with cucumber.
This is a home-cooked dish here.
There were two people standing in front of each table.
One person packs the rice and the other packs the vegetables.
After packing, it is handed over to the people in line who have scanned the code to pay.
That's fast food.
The price of such a fast food meal is actually 100 yuan.
When Mo Qingyan and others arrived, there was already a female anchor sitting in the cabin. She was eating and talking to the camera about how delicious the food was.
After the young man brought Mo Qingyan and others into the cabin, they went straight to the open stove in the cabin.
Then he said to the youngest chef in front of the stove, "Master Ma, I have found a new food anchor with more than nine million fans."
"A food anchor with more than nine million fans?" Mark turned around and looked over immediately after hearing this.
When he saw Mo Qingyan with her hat pulled down, and Gao Moqi who was wearing a hat and sunglasses that almost covered his entire face, he looked at the two cameramen and several security guards following behind them.
He frowned and asked, "They are both food anchors with more than 9 million fans?"
Are today’s internet celebrities all so grand and impressive?
The young man was stunned for a moment when he was asked this.
Oops, he only saw that one of them had more than nine million fans, and he was so excited that he forgot to look at the other one.
At this moment, Gao Moqi spoke up, "My number of fans is only six million."
Six million followers. Gao Moqi is already the gourmet with the largest number of fans.
The gourmet who ranks second has only about two million fans.
After all, these gourmets are not like those celebrities and internet celebrities who have more opportunities to appear in public and naturally gain more fans.
Therefore, having 100% fans is already very remarkable.
The reason why Gao Moqi has six million fans is that he is very famous abroad.
Therefore, naturally more people pay attention to him.
Another point is that he is good-looking and has a good temperament.
I want to compare myself with those white-haired old men, or those middle-aged uncles with eight-month-old bellies.
Of course, Gao Moqi, the young and handsome gourmet, is more popular.
Hearing that Gao Moqi had six million fans, the young man was immediately relieved and said to Mark with a smile: "Yes, yes, Master Ma, this one only has six million fans, and the other one is a big food anchor with more than nine million fans."
"Oh, a big food anchor?" Mark smiled coldly. In fact, he sneered at those so-called big food anchors.
Because those so-called big food anchors are all amateurs.
To outsiders, they look very professional when watching them taste the food. Able to speak clearly and coherently.
It’s all bullshit actually.
Amateurs are amateurs. If it weren’t for what these chefs said, these so-called food hosts wouldn’t be able to tell what ingredients are put into many dishes. Not to mention, let them tell you how the dish was made.
Therefore, Mark has never liked these so-called food hosts.
But, who can blame these so-called food anchors for having so much traffic?
If he wants to gain traffic and attention, he can only rely on their power.
After all, these food anchors have some skills to gain millions of fans.
Serious chefs like them really can't do a job like being an anchor.
Of course, in addition to inviting these food anchors and internet celebrities to bring him traffic, this time he came out to sell his cooking at a cheap price of 100 yuan.
I also want to increase my popularity.
He also learned this approach from a very popular internet celebrity recently.
The dishes made by that internet celebrity are basically sold at a low price of 100 yuan.
Therefore, he gained many fans.
Mark also wanted to learn.
Otherwise, if he was just an unknown second-level state banquet chef, the appearance fee he could get would not increase.
"Okay, let them wait."
Mark didn't look at it carefully, and turned around to make two servings of fried chicken feet with cucumber.
Those sold outside are also made by Mark himself.
It’s just because the ones outside are in large portions, so it’s difficult to control the heat when cooking.
The taste is definitely not as good as the smaller portion.
Therefore, Mark prepares food for these food hosts individually.
While Mark was cooking, Mo Qingyan looked back at Mark who was busy at the stove behind him, approached Gao Moqi, and asked him: "Do you know this Master Ma?"
Gao Moqi nodded, "I know him, a second-level state banquet chef, Mark."
"I really know him!" He couldn't help but look back, then said with a sly smile, "Then you better wear your hat and sunglasses securely, don't let him find out your identity. I saw just now that he didn't look very happy about our arrival. Wait a minute, let's see if this second-level state banquet chef can still maintain his cooking level after leaving the competition."
A good chef is always good at what he does, no matter where he is or when he is with anyone.
You have to maintain your cooking level. That's what a qualified chef is.
The reason why Mo Qingyan asked Gao Moqi to hide his identity was that she wanted to see if Mark could make dishes that matched his identity when facing ordinary people again.
I would still choose to fool the taste buds of ordinary people.
The first internet celebrity anchor who came was also a food anchor.
When he saw Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi arriving in such a grand manner, he looked up at them.
Then she lowered her head and continued eating her chicken feet.
While eating, he looked into the camera and said how delicious the chicken feet were.
The exaggerated expressions and font language are so convincing.
At least, Mo Qingyan almost believed it when she saw it.
The people queuing outside to buy fast food couldn't help but open their lunch boxes on the spot, picked up the disposable chopsticks, and started eating.
After eating it, there was a burst of exclamations.
Soon, Mark made the fried cucumber claws.
Divide the dish into two portions and place on plates, then cover the plates with two bowls of rice. Finally, after adding some decorations, the young man handed it to Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi.
After the young man served the food to Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi, he said to them, "Master Ma will treat you to this meal. Then please start a live broadcast and taste our Master Ma's dish."
Mo Qingyan looked at the dish in front of her and was silent for a while.
Although in his previous world, everything could be fried.
However, the combination of cucumber and chicken feet usually appears more often in cold dishes.
Mo Qingyan carefully observed the dish of fried chicken feet with cucumber in front of her.
Judging from the appearance, this dish of fried chicken feet with cucumber is very appetizing.
The presentation is also pretty.
Just looking at the presentation, you can tell that they were not being fooled.
This dish is simple. Mo Qingyan could tell at a glance that this dish was cooked using the sauce-braised method.
Mo Qingyan picked up the chopsticks, and the first thing she picked up was not chicken feet, but peeled cucumber.
The cucumber is evenly coated with the sauce, and the rich flavor of the sauce can be tasted in one bite.
The cucumber was not fried thoroughly, but just barely cooked. So it still has the crisp taste of cucumber.
This proves that the cooking temperature of this dish is just right.
Then, eat the chicken feet.
The chicken feet are blanched in water, so there is no peculiar smell.
It has a very strong sauce flavor when you take a bite, slightly spicy but not choking.
The chicken feet are fried to just the right temperature, and the meat is chewy.
However, although the cooking time of the chicken feet was very good, they were not fully flavored because they were stir-fried for too short a time.
The rich aroma of the sauce only remains on the skin of the chicken feet.
Didn't go in.
Mo Qingyan only ate a piece of chicken feet and already knew the ingredients and cooking methods of this dish.
He spat out the chicken bone in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and then picked up a tissue to check his mouth.
Then he said to the camera: "This dish of fried cucumber and chicken feet is a common dish in China. I believe many people have eaten it. But each place has its own way of making it. The different methods will naturally lead to different tastes."
"The dish I'm eating now is simpler to make. Stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, then add chili pepper, MSG, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cooking wine. A little broth is also added to this dish. Then add the chicken feet and stir-fry."
“When the chicken feet are almost done, add the cucumber and stir-fry lightly. Then thicken the sauce with starch and serve. This dish is ready in no more than two minutes.”
Gao Moqi also put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and nodded.
"Although it's a big pot, because we only cook two portions, the heat is well controlled. Also, the soup stock used to enhance the flavor is the concentrated soup stock from the bones of old hens. So this sauce-flavored dish has a rich chicken flavor."
Mo Qingyan gave Gao Moqi a thumbs up.
He is indeed a great gourmet.
Mo Qingyan could only taste the broth made from old hen.
However, Gao Moqi tasted the concentrated chicken soup made from old hen frames.
It’s really amazing.
When Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi said this, the young man standing aside and watching already had a smile on his face.
In fact, he was never worried.
In his opinion, the dishes cooked by Chef Ma, even if they are just home-cooked dishes, are the most delicious home-cooked dishes.
After all, he is a second-level state banquet chef!
But he was a little surprised that the food anchor in front of him could taste the ingredients and cooking method of Master Ma's dish after just two bites.
If he hadn't seen Master Ma cooking with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Master Ma had added broth to the dish.
But the food anchor in front of me actually tasted it.
No wonder he has more than 900 fans, it seems he is really capable.
Mark stopped cooking while Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi were tasting the food.
I want to hear their comments.
Mark was very dissatisfied with the evaluation given by the first food anchor who came.
Although the food anchor kept saying that the fried chicken feet with cucumber made by Kumar was very delicious.
However, what Mark wanted was not this kind of superficial and vain praise.
The reason why Mark was not in a good mood towards Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi was because the anchor had no idea what ingredients he had put in the dish.
I finally found out after I came to ask him.
At that time, Mark felt that these so-called food live broadcasts were too amateurish.
I'm not qualified to comment on his food.
Therefore, when he heard that Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi were also food anchors, he looked unhappy.
However, unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan could tell how he cooked the dish and even the ingredients used.
Gao Moqi was even more exaggerated. He actually found out that the broth he used was concentrated from old hen bones.
These two have amazing tastes.
Mark immediately changed his opinion of them.
Therefore, not all food anchors are half-baked.
Look at these two, they are like professional gourmets.
"but……"
Mo Qingyan seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Gao Moqi immediately followed up: "But the chicken feet are not flavorful, the flavor only floats on the surface of the chicken feet. Therefore, the taste is a little lacking. My score is..."
Gao Moqi looked at Mo Qingyan.
The two of them said in unison, "85 points."
